Name of API affected:
Analytics Data Export API

Issue summary:
Regular expressions using the pipe symbol does not work.

Steps to reproduce issue:
1. Set dimensions to ga:keyword
2. Set metrics to ga:visits
3. Set filters to ga:keyword==keyword1|keyword2 (there are no disallowed chars 
in the keywords that I use, only a-z)
4. Set sort to -ga:visits
5. Leave max-results at 50

Expected output:
I expect to see two rows of data with columns, in this case:
ga:keyword   ga:visits
keyword1     nnn
keyword2     nnn

Actual results:
no results found

Notes:
It does not matter what dimension operator I use, I get a "no results found" 
which is not true since both of these keywords exists within 
chosen date range. I have used both the API and Data Feed Query Explorer with 
same result. I have verified that both keywords exist within 
the selected date range by using the Data Feed Query Explorer with the settings 
in steps 1-4 above (with only one keyword at a time).

My misstake. The only valid operators are: =~ AND !~ when you are using regular 
expressions.

As you wrote please use =~ and !~ to specify you are using a regular expression
